Would have prefered someone like Koeman or Van Gaal but I'm content with Allardyce and willing to give him a chance.

Ugh. I REALLY hope we don't play 4-5-1. I want attacking football.

Hopefully Ben Haim. Also Speed as the assistant coach.

Am I the only one not at all optimistic about our future. Personnally I think this is one of the worst timed sackings in our history. Our squad is crap and the manager who had done all the planning for the summer is gone and will be replaced by someone who most likely will not have been looking for players or in Big Sam's case won't have been looking at the sort of players in our price/quality budget. Also I'm not at all optimistic about getting Allardyce. I think Allardyce would want full control over everything here and I'm not sure FS would accept that. Also I'm not sure Allardyce wants the job, he turned it down twice before so why would he take it now? I just think we have wasted a whole year now and were back where we started in only a slightly better state. I also question that if Roeder did indeed say he would resign at christmas if we weren't top 6 then why did the board not accept that. It seems to me that Roeder would have cleared out the remaining deadwood this summer and brought in defensive reinforcements. Then if things hadn't worked out we could have got rid at christmas and had January for the new manager to bring in a couple of new players and settle in. To me now it seems we'll be behind on all the other teams in summer preparation and all the plans layed out before are now ruined. You also have to wonder what the players are thinking now, no manager, no clear summer plans, if I were Owen I'd be on my phone to my agent getting me transfered to Man U ASAP

I HAVE FEELINGS YOU KNOW!!! So does Ronald Koeman. I bet he's in tears at home that you left him off your uberpoll.

Can't believe someobdy actually voted for Bruce.

This is a much more sensible poll.

I want Roanld Koeman.

Never had a chance at a big budget club and has always had to sell but he's still managed to win 3 Eredivisie's, 1 Portuguese supercup and has managed to do well in the Champions League with both PSV and Benfica.

Please sack him and please let him come to Newcastle.

Not having a dig or anything but how much of there football do you watch? Only when they are on Sky and MOTD highlights but they aren't a team that are entertaining Bolton have only scored 45 goals this season. That's less than Everton, Reading, Tottenham, Blackburn and the same amount as Portsmouth. That's the joint least amount of goals in the the top 10 and they have only scored 4 more than Villa. More than us then? Scored 8 more goals than us. That's less impressive when you consider they are 7 places above us.

Why? Because I think he did a fine job at the academy. Got them to one FA Youth Cup semi final and then the youngsters he recruited got us to another FA Youth Cup semi final this year. No he didn't. He wasn't in charge last season when we did that. He was in charge up until the QF final stage I believe and by all account it was his team.

I hope it isn't Allardyce. The type of football Blton play bores me to tears.

Any reasons for the resignation yet.

I'd love him to continue at the Academy in some capacity but I can't see that happening.

We don't need a new manager thread. I mean face it all we are gonna talk about this week is the new manager, there aren't any other pionts of discussion.

Either Pearson or the new manager.

Koeman would be brilliant for us. I'd much prefer him to Big Sam.

I hope Carr fucks off. Fat Cunt.

Not sure whether to hope he has or hasn't signed a pre-contract with us. On one hand if he has signed then it is a good new addition for us and he is tied down but on the other hand if he was coming because of Roeder it will be very awkward for him now with a new manager.

I think it's just a case of jumping before he was pushed.

Better off with Shearer than Pearce.

Or the fact that you can't just sack Roeder and his staff without filing proper paperwork and tieing up all the loose ends, which could take 3 or 4 hours.
